The saddest song I think I've ever heard was Bjork's "New World" that plays during the closing credits of her movie, "Dancer In The Dark." If you listen to it by itself, it's just kind of pretty. But in context to what you've just seen at the end of the movie and the "Next To The Last Song," it's just heartbreakingly beautiful. Her ghostly inflection tops some of Siouxie's best. If you haven't seen this movie, I suggest it to anyone who appreciates sad movies.

New World

Train-whistles, a sweet clementineBlueberries, dancers in lineCobwebs, a bakery sign

Ooooh - a sweet clementineOoooh - dancers in lineOoooh ...

If living is seeingI'm holding my breathIn wonder - I wonderWhat happens next?A new world, a new day to see

I'm softly walking on air

Halfway to heaven from hereSunlight unfolds in my hair

Ooooh - I'm walking on airOoooh - to heaven from hereOoooh ...

If living is seeingI'm holding my breathIn wonder - I wonderWhat happens next?A new world, a new day to see

if only you'd never speak to me
the way that you do
if only you'd never speak like that
it's like listening to
a breaking heart
a falling sky
fire go out and friendship die
i wish you felt the way that i still do

if only you'd never look at me
the way that you do
if only you'd never look like that
when i look at you
i see face like stone
eyes of ice
mouth so sweetly telling lies
i wish you felt the way that i still do
the way that i still do
but you don't
you don't feel anymore
you don't care anymore
it's all gone

if only you'd never pull from me
the way that you do
if only you'd never pull like that
when i'm with you
i feel hopeless hands helplessly
pulling you back close to me
i wish you felt the way that i still do
the way that i still do

if only you'd ever speak to me
the way you once did
look at me the way you once did
pull to me the way you once did
but you don't
you don't feel anymore
you don't care anymore
it's all gone

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arm

Through these fields of destruction
Baptism of fire
I've watched all your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

Fashion is FOR Victims...-LT.

I've been so alone for so long
forgotten by the world
forgotten to my self
your effervescent eyes have awakened me
and brushed the dust away...
but i knew you'd never stay

so i memorized the color of your eyes
as i lost myself inside you
i memorized the way our legs entwined
as i drifted off beside you...

at night i cling to you i'm so afraid
afraid the day will come
and i'll wake up and find you gone

but you promise that you'd not abandon me
and kissed my fears away...
but i woke up to that day...
but i had memorized the way our eyes would meet
reflected in the bathroom mirror
and i memorized your naked silhouette
as you slowly brushed your hair...

i miss god i miss waking up beside you

i've been alone for so long...
i forgot how much it hurts to wake up so alone
but i'd memorized how warm your body felt
as you lay half asleep beside me
and i memorized the way the sunlight filled the room
and played upon your body

I miss god i miss waking up beside you

I have actually cried to this song after losing a loved one....

â€œThat proves you are unusual, returned the Scarecrow; and I am convinced the only people worthy of consideration in this world are the unusual ones. For the common folks are like the leaves of a tree, and live and die unnoticed.â€
